Feeling Self Worth

There’s an itch I have in the back of my heart, An itch that won’t seem to fade, It’s holding a truth I keep from the world, A truth I need to explain, About how much I value myself, Was stolen by the feelings I feel, How my pride has simply been overrun, How my damage has been revealed, And my feelings have changed how I feel about me, Am I good enough? I don’t know, My feelings have changed who I see deep inside, They’ve changed who I’m able to show, These feelings of mine are like a lost ship, With an itch it hurts the most, They take my self worth to “I don’t know where”, Leaving me alone like a ghost.
